Quotes

This is why you shouldn’t hire your friends. It’s all nice and professional until the insubordination starts. She sighed.

Her strategy for honoring the dead had always been to take action - solve the mystery, punish the criminal. But what did you do when there was no one to punish? When there were no answers to find? How do you assimilate that kind of loss without losing your mind?,Sometimes lightning struck twice; sometimes, one person got more than their share of suffering.

But sometimes the lies we let ourselves believe are for our own good.

Chatty, defensive, observant. My new favorite witness.
